I have cared for my own pets for many years, and I have dog-sat in my own neighborhood and helped my grandmother with her foster dogs over the past few years. I have an older Miniature Australian Shepherd who loves to play and explore and I used to have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who was more laid-back so I am used to caring for varying energy levels. I also recently got a 9 month old Border Collie puppy who is very energetic and requires mental stimulation. I am in good physical shape and have a lot of energy to spend quality time with dogs. I am a current college student so I will be available for most of the summer. I love to get to know each dog that I interact with, and my attention to detail and patience with animals help me to give each dog the care they need.
